Hugh Jackman's 'The Wolverine' script being rewritten

Washington, Sept 5 (ANI): The script for the highly-anticipated sequel to 'The Wolverine', starring Hugh Jackman, is reportedly being rewritten.

According to Variety, Mark Bomback, whose previous scripts include 'Live Free or Die Hard', 'Race to Witch Mountain', and 'Unstoppable', has been hired on to rework the original script, which was written by Christopher McQuarrie.

The shooting on the latest installment in the 'X-Men' franchise has already been pushed back until the spring (12) due to unpredictable weather conditions in Japan, where part of the mutant superhero action blockbuster was due to be filmed later this year (11).

'The Wolverine' has already gotten off to a rocky start - James Mangold was drafted in to take charge of the movie after 'Black Swan' filmmaker Darren Aronofsky quit the project due to creative differences, reports Contactmusic.

The movie is expected to hit theatres in 2013. (ANI)
